“Is it right so many people are frightened of where they live at the moment having seen the horrors of Grenfell Tower? Is it right that so many people live in such poverty in a society which has such riches?" The Labour leader asked.

But on Friday evening on BBC Two's Newsnight Andrea Leadsom, leader of the House of Commons, called on broadcasters to be “a bit patriotic” in their Brexit coverage.
Emily Maitlis asked Leadsom if she was accusing her of being unpatriotic.

Doubtful. Have we a Corbyn figure? Even more doubtful.
Imagine if the Irish Dominicans threw up a Corbyn-like person? Alas, that is now impossible.
